Celestion, the premier manufacturer of guitar and bass loudspeakers and pro audio drivers for sound reinforcement applications, began the celebration of their centennial anniversary year at the 2024 Winter NAMM Show by being honoured with the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Milestone Award for 100 years of service in the music products industry. Presented by NAMM, the Milestone Award recognises music products businesses that have flourished through changing business environments to reach a noteworthy anniversary.
“Celestion are extremely grateful and humbled to be recognised by NAMM with the Milestone Award,” said Nigel Wood, managing director at Celestion. “As a company, we started making loudspeakers 100 years ago, and all this time later, we’re making loudspeakers. A lot of companies are 100 years old, but Celestion is unique. The company has stayed true to its core identity.”
The NAMM Milestone Awards are presented annually to industry leaders celebrating notable anniversaries during the annual winter NAMM Show, which brings together over 100,000 industry professionals to preview the latest gear, attend educational sessions and network with peers from around the world.
